canapés and tapas such as mojama (flakes of salty dried<br />
tuna) (see La Venencia).<br />
9 Alhambra<br />
Designed to look like a bar of the early 1900s with<br />
Moorish touches, Alhambra is one of the best places to<br />
start the evening if you’re about to embark on a tour of<br />
the night spots of Sol and Santa Ana. Check out the<br />
Andalusian tapas – especially the cured meats and spicy<br />
sausage. Drinks are more expensive from around 11pm<br />
at weekends (see Alhambra).<br />
10 Moore’s<br />
Irish bars are incredibly<br />
popular with madrileños .<br />
This one offers all the usual<br />
attractions – long opening<br />
hours, pub-grub like roast<br />
beef, satellite TV coverage<br />
of sporting events and good<br />
music. Prices are higher than average but the promotions<br />
lessen the pain.<br />
